Kai: If TT owned beyblade, I'd still have my scarf in G-force.
TT: Yep! ^^ Fic time!

Kai's head was lowered as he focused on keeping his footing. Normally he would hate himself for being this weak, but right now wasn't the time to insist he didn't need help.
His mind was dizzy, whether from exhaustion or blood loss he wasn't sure, and he couldn't seem to focus on where he was being led. Bordering on the edge of consciousness, the only thing that kept him awake were the images that flashed through his mind whenever he neared unconsciousness. As much as he hated the idea, he had to trust his teammates to get them out of here.
Tyson glanced at the blue haired blader. He was barely conscious, one of Kai's arms over his shoulders, the other over Ray's. Kai didn't even seem to be aware how heavily he was leaning on his two teammates.
And he was getting blood all over their clothes, too...
Tyson glanced back over at Kai, a worried expression on his face, as the fellow blader's head slumped lower, completely hiding weary garnet eyes from view. "Kai, you still with us?" He got a slight moan in response; at least he was still awake.
Ray, on Kai's other side, glanced at the fallen phoenix in concern as well, "Hold on Kai, we're almost there."
"Hey!" The four BladeBreaker's froze, turning to find several guards behind them. Tyson gulped, exchanging a glance with Ray and Max. Kai was in no condition to run, to how were they going to get out of this one?
"Tyson, Ray, go!" The two teens in question blinked at their blonde friend as he pulled out his beyblade, aiming it at the guards, "What are you waiting for?! I'll hold them off, now go!"
"But..." Tyson stared at him for a moment, before nodding in understand, "Be careful Max." He turned to the raven-haired one, "Come on, lets go!"
Max barely registered as his friends ran down the passage, all thought focused on the men in front of him. "LET IT RIP!!"
While Max distracted the guards, Tyson and Ray focused on trying to remember the way out.
"I hope Max will be okay..."
"Sure he will, he's tough."
"I hope you're right..." Ray blinked, then grinned at Tyson, "There's the exit!"'
"Alright! Now we can get out of this creepy place!" Tyson paused, "What about Max? We can't go without him."
Ray frowned, torn between two loyalties. "We can't stay here either... And we need to get Kai to a doctor, too."
As soon as Ray mentioned his name, they both glanced at their duo colour haired teammate. His breathing was slightly labored, and he was covered in blood, fresh and bleeding from all the movement, that dripped off his brow like sweat.
"What are you guys waiting for?" The two aware bladers jumped, before turning their heads to see their blonde haired friend standing behind them.
"MAX!!"
"Yeah, that's me." Despite their situation, he was able to give them a lopsided grin, "So what are you standing around here for? Lets go!"

"What's taking them so long, Dizzi?" The Chief asked as he typed on the laptop, his voice portraying his concern. He was sitting on a bench in the park they'd agreed to meet.
"I don't know, Chief, but I hope they get back soon. The sooner they get back, the sooner you'll let us take a break."
"That's not funny, Dizzi..."
"Chief!" Kenny jumped, falling off the bench in surprise as Max ran through the trees towards him.
"There you are! What took you so long?"
"Nothing, really, but we got Kai!"
Kenny got to his feet, adjusting his glasses, "That's great! But where is he?"
Max's happy expression sobered in record timing, "Tyson and Ray are bringing him... He's in pretty bad shape..."
"What do you..." Kenny trailed off as he caught sight of the team leader, practically being carried by Ray and Tyson. An arm slung over each of their shoulders, head lowered as he fought to stay conscious, his clothes torn and heavy with dark blood, it was not a pretty picture.
Kenny must have paled, because Dizzi beeped at him, "Don't faint on us, Chief! And come on, show me what's going on!"
Kai gave a slight moan, unable to fight to black cloud hovering over his vision, and slumped further onto Ray and Tyson.
Tyson groaned at the sudden, though slight, increase in weight, "Oh sure, _now_ he faints!"
Kenny snapped out of his stupor, "Call an ambulance! He needs a doctor right away!"
"You're telling me."
"I think I saw a payphone that we just past." Max was gone before anyone could answer.
***
The minutes past agonizingly slow, and Max, Tyson and Ray passed the time explaining to Kenny what had happened when they went to get Kai, all of them frequently throwing their friend concerned glanced which would have resulted in death glares if he were awake.
It seemed as if hours had past by the time they finally heard ambulance sirens, and the four of them leapt to their feet to meet it.
The doctors who had come in the ambulance were, perhaps, even more horrified with Kai's condition than his teammates had been. Time suddenly pasted as if a blur, and before they knew it, the BladeBreaker's were in a waiting room, while Kai was lying somewhere in an operating theater.
Tyson rammed his fist down on the armrest of the chair he was sitting in, "They haven't told us anything!"
"Tyson, please, be patient, we have to wait until Kai's out before they can tell us anything."
"I know Chief, but..." Tyson trailed off, not sure what to say, but the others knew what he was thinking. Kai had looked, for probably the first time since they had met him, weakened and exhausted. It scared them all to think that their strong, untouchable and emotionless leader could be hurt to such a state.
Ray stared ahead at an empty space of air. Were these what the nightmares, that had plagued Kai's sleep for so long, made of? It was no wonder he had been loosing sleep over them. 'Kai... Please be okay...'
